Its been designed to show people my photos and in Concorde's case my eye witness accounts of seeing Concorde and photos of Concorde.

My interest in photography has been around for as long as my passion for Concorde (Over 30 years)…..When I chased Concorde I combined my hobbies of Concorde and photography in to one and some times took photos which where memorable, other times they where kak but you live and learn.

Apart from Concorde I've been interested in other types of photography, at the moment I love taking Landscape photos of London and the river Thames. At sunset and at night, the place just becomes magical.

As of June 2015 I bought my first 2nd hand Digital SLR Canon EOS 40D I bought it as I want to experiment with digital photography.

Overall unless 35mm film is phased out I'll continue to take photos on film as I like film and the Canon EOS 3 is one of the best cameras ever made, it can keep up with any digital SLR you can buy, so why throw away a good camera ?

Motorwinder on my Canon EOS 3 which allowed me to take 6 pictures per second.

Truprint/Fuji ASA 400 or ASA 800 film.

Shutter Priority mode at 1/500th sec - 1/800th sec

On the Ground

Tamron 28-105mm zoom lens

Truprint ASA200 or ASA 400 film.

Full Auto mode.

Flash unit (if I was shooting indoors)

Most of the time I used Tokina ATX 840 + Kenko x 1.5 for my flying photos as I only lost around 1 fstop of light……Once or twice I used Tokina ATX 840 + Kenko x 2 but I lost 2 fstops of light, so for 7pm take offs on dull / rapidly darkening days there wasn’t enough light entering the camera at 1/500th sec to justify using this.

Unlike most SLR cameras the EOS 3 has full autofocus using either Kenko x 1.5 or Kenko x 2teleconverters.

I used Truprint film a lot (as it was cheaper than having to buy Kodak or Fuji film)…..Some times when I could afford to I use to buy Fuji ASA 800 film other times (when taking flight photos in low light) I pushed the ASA 400 by 1 stop to ASA 800 and told Truprint I done this, they use to take this in to account and correctly print the photos.

When I get the photos back fromTruprint I scan them in to my PC (via my Epson 3170 scanner), digitally get rid of any scratches and then put them on here.

So although I don't have a digital SLR I have the best of both worlds.

The design of this website is like an MS Word document (thats because I'm not " arty " so I can't make a flashy website), but I hope you'll enjoy this website as much as I enjoyed Concorde.

Kind Regards
